The same as for mxser_port:

struct nvmet_fc_fcp_iod {
         struct nvmefc_tgt_fcp_req       *fcpreq;

         struct nvme_fc_cmd_iu           cmdiubuf;
         struct nvme_fc_ersp_iu          rspiubuf;
         dma_addr_t                      rspdma;
         struct scatterlist              *next_sg;
         struct scatterlist              *data_sg;
         int                             data_sg_cnt;
         u32                             offset;
         enum nvmet_fcp_datadir          io_dir;
         bool                            active;
         bool                            abort;
         bool                            aborted;
         bool                            writedataactive;
         spinlock_t                      flock;

         struct nvmet_req                req;
         struct work_struct              defer_work;

         struct nvmet_fc_tgtport         *tgtport;
         struct nvmet_fc_tgt_queue       *queue;

         struct list_head                fcp_list;       /* 
tgtport->fcp_list */
};

The error appears to be invalid.
